Probably around 19-21. I thought I saw it somewhere at one point, but I don't know anymore. The wheel weight database has the 8.5 version of mine at 20.7.

^ you're probably right. I saw the 17x9 at 19 and 17x8 at 20 so I just went with a range.

with those wheels, you should paint your calipers name, or buy aftermarket ones if you're willing to spend the money, that would look sweeeeet
